Products
Made to order in Malaysia, sized to your requirements, and supported in Australia by Dustwell.
Two configurations, one engineering method. Every size is available as an open-top DC or a flange-top FT.
The universal configuration. Receives material from conveyors, chutes and loaders above, and is ideal for retrofits where the feed point can't be modified.
Top-to-bottom containment. A bolted, gasket-sealed cover mates directly to your feed chute, with zero escape at the inlet and maximum suppression in an ultra-compact profile.

Every unit is built to order, and the construction suits the duty. DustCone recommends the materials once it knows your product and loading point.
Powder-coated, for general service.
Weathering steel, also available from DustCone.
Stainless steel where hygiene or corrosion matters. Food-grade builds for grain and feed, and corrosion-resistant builds for fertiliser.
An optional coating for abrasive or corrosive service.
Wear plate through the whole flow path, not only as local protection at the discharge. Hardox 450 is standard for abrasive duty, and Hardox 500 is used where the material warrants it.
Suspension springs have steel tab ends rather than the hook ends of commercial springs, and are dip-coated rather than powder-coated, because powder coatings tend to micro-crack as a spring flexes and open a path for corrosion.
Also on request: spark-conscious material selection for combustible dusts such as sulfur. All units use robust steel construction with replaceable major components and generous inspection access.
The range runs from the compact DC Mini up to the DC 9, so there is a size class to suit different flow rates. DustCone chooses the size for you.
| Model | Load-out rate |
|---|---|
| DC Mini | up to 50 t/h |
| DC 1 | up to 100 t/h |
| DC 2 | up to 175 t/h |
| DC 3 | up to 325 t/h |
| DC 4 | up to 550 t/h |
| DC 5 | up to 865 t/h |
| DC 6 to DC 9 | above 865 t/h, up to 3,500 t/h, sized on request |
Rates are general guidance for wheat at 700 kg/m³; every unit is configured to the density of your material and tracks the feed within about 10 to 15% of its sized flow. Each enquiry is taken from the flow rate, bulk density and particle size range, then matched to a size class.
Every hopper is built to order, so the price depends on the size, material and options. Send us a few details and we will come back with a quote.
More products are on the way, including bulk loading spouts.
Send us your material, flow rate and bulk density. DustCone sizes the hopper to your material, and we aim to come back with a recommendation within 2 business days. No obligation.
